The fifth edition of the Jusoor Exhibition, organized by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance in Jakarta, Indonesia, recorded a remarkable turnout on its third day, attracting more than 150,000 visitors, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

Visitors expressed admiration for the exhibition's detailed models of the Grand Mosque of Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque of Madinah, crafted with high precision to capture the landmarks' intricate features.

The use of virtual reality technology, which offered visitors an immersive experience of the two holy mosques, proved particularly popular, drawing widespread engagement across all age groups and boosting the exhibition's reach within Indonesian society.

Visitors commended the initiative to distribute thousands of daily copies of the Holy Quran with Indonesian translations, courtesy of the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran in Madinah.

The fifth Jusoor Exhibition reflects Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to foster cultural and civilizational dialogue, emphasizing its mission to serve the two holy mosques and promote the values of moderation and balance.
